No H-1B bill sponsorship or Senate vote was found; a 2017 campaign interview gave a generally supportive legal-immigration answer when asked about H-1B (NRI Pulse, 2017). The rest is mixed. Voted YES on final passage of the Laken Riley Act (Senate Roll Call 7, Jan 2025) and sponsored the Border Smuggling Crackdown Act. Repeatedly co-sponsored the Korean American Divided Families National Registry Act, a top Korean American community priority (GovTrack; ossoff.senate.gov, Jun 2024).

Voted Yea on March 12, 2026 Senate passage of amended H.R. 6644 (Roll Call 53); that was not the final Senate vote.

He sponsors the Skilled Workforce Act (S. 2664) and publicized bipartisan training for rural elementary- school teachers (Apr 2026). He sponsored no K-12 AANHPI-history bill in three Congresses, and he is not a cosponsor of the Senate companion, S. 1844 (Hirono, D-HI), as of October 22, 2026 (GovTrack; Congress.gov).

He sponsored the Bilingual Public Safety Act (S. 3586) and the Federal Grants Language Accessibility Act (S. 2471). At a March 2022 Judiciary hearing he said he had written the Attorney General to urge every federal agency to update its language-access plans, so immigrant communities can report crimes and reach services. None of the bills became law (ossoff.senate.gov, Mar 2022). Rating basis: Sustained personal leadership: 2022 agency-plan and FBI-access advocacy plus sponsorship of two 2023-24 language-access bills. No enacted bill claimed.

Voted YEA on the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act (Senate Roll Call 165, Apr 22, 2021, 94-1).

The Georgia Asian can Advocacy Fund endorsed his re-election in July 2026. Others authored the ture bill (GovTrack; AAAF, Jul 2026). g basis: Recorded 2021 vote followed by personal 2022 DOJ implementation oversight and 2023 ta-shootings advocacy.

Authored the Laken Riley Act, law since January 2025 (Public Law 119-1; S. 5 in the Senate, H.R. 29 in the House). It requires ICE detention of non-citizens arrested or charged with theft-related offenses and lets states sue over federal immigration decisions. Also sponsored the SAFE for America Act of 2025, which eliminates the Diversity Visa program (up to 55,000 green-card lottery visas a year), and the RAZOR Act. This is the strongest restrictionist record in this race. No H-1B-specific position found (congress.gov; collins.house.gov, Jan 2025).

In AJC's April 2026 issue review, supports reducing builder regulations and limiting excessive corporate homebuying to lower housing costs. WABE's September 2026 report says he voted for the bipartisan housing bill limiting institutional-investor homeownership.

Heritage Action scores him 98% (118th) and 100% (119th). No AANHPI-history-curriculum record. His record runs against federal public-education investment, with no inclusive-curriculum support (congress.gov).

Cosponsored H.R. 1772 on June 3, 2026, proposing English for official federal government functions and an English naturalization standard. The bill preserves specified exceptions for health and safety, crime victims and defendants, IDEA and other matters; it is not an enacted ban on all translation. (cosponsors; bill text). Rating basis: Cosponsors official-English legislation restricting routine federal language use, with exceptions. Opposition signal, not a blanket ban or sole authorship.

Joined Congress in January 2023, so he could not have voted on the 2021 COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. Since then he has sponsored no hate-crimes legislation, and no AAPI-specific statements were found. In July and August 2026 his campaign also faced reports of racist material by former associates. His office says the ex-staffer "has no affiliation" and that Collins "unequivocally condemns" the posts (Guardian, Aug 2026). Rating basis: Reported office condemnation of racist, Nazi andKKK posts is a limited anti-hate statement. Same symbolic/statement boundary asODonnell; associates misconduct is not attributed as his own policy.
